Suited (Poker)

Suited is the term used to describe two hole cards in a game of Holdem that are of the same suit, for instance 10 Heart J Heart. Suited cards often look a lot more playable as they offer the potential for a player to hit a flush, in which you need five cards of the same suit.

It is a fact that players often overplay suited cards for this reason. The reason this is an overplay is that it only adds a couple of percent to your chances of winning the hand so committing a large proportion of your stack just because they are suited is not a sensible play.

A hand is often referred to as being suited or for example '10 J suited'. Where the hole cards are the same suit and in sequence they are referred to as 'suited connectors'. These hands present even more potential as they increase the chance that you will hit a straight or a flush (or straight flush).
